Newport RI’s Tyler-James Kelly with “Bedford’s poet laureate,” Coltt Winter Lepley

  • The Venue of Merging Arts 305 Chestnut St Johnstown, PA, 15906 United States (map)

Tyler-James Kelly makes 1970s-inspired country music for the modern world. That sound reaches a new peak with Dream River, Kelly's full-length solo debut. Hailed by Rolling Stone as a "deft chicken-pickin' guitarist" with a "head-turner" live show, Tyler-James Kelly sees Dream River as more than just an introduction to his solo career with his music taking its cues from the American roots music that Kelly first discovered in childhood. A guitarist since the age of 10, he grew up listening to honky-tonk pickers and top-shelf songwriters like Hank Williams, Jerry Reed, Robert Johnson, George Jones, and Jim Croce. He also developed a taste for the storytellers like Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, and Guy Clark.
